MIR. Todd, of Northumberland, the
gen ial insurance agent of the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Company was u
welcome caller Mt tins oilico on Tuesday
aftern Don. lie Is also the partner of
John l.. Colt In nm extensive store bus
iness in Northumberland. In conver-
sation he told MS that landlord Il. Il.
Me, er, who moved To that place from
Relersburg, last spring, is doing the
best business of the Ave hotels there,all
of which the friends of that gentleman

Chairman McClain gave us the de-
shed response to our reminder in last
weeks JOURNAL that an excursion
train should le arranged for To take
our people To Bellefonte and back To
Cohnm next Tuesday. lie writes that
"exculsion tickets from Coburn and
intermediate points 10 Bellefonte and
return will be sold on that day at regu-
lar excursion rates and that u special
return train from Bellefonte to Coburn
will be run, provided guarantee of so
passengers from Coburn Is given"
From inquiries we have made here and
there We feel sure that the required
number of passengers, and perhaps
more can be counted upon.
If any one thing has been oftener
and more forcibl, pressed upon public
attention through the newspapers than
another il is the fact that the most un-
safe place person can seek for refuge
during n thunder storm Is the shelter
of tree. 1t is the place most persons
seek when storm driven. and more per-
sons have been killed by lightning while
there than in any other place. Most
people know this, but still they rush
upon their destruction with a prompt
ness that is simply unaccountable.
Already this season many deaths haye
been reported of persons who have
sought such shelter, and the list will no
doubt be much longer before the sum-
mer is over.-- Er.
1t wasn't Mary's little lamb that
came TO Miss McElroy's school room
last Monday, but it created lots of ex-
citement among her scholars all the
same. 4 flock of lambs was being
driven through Penn street, when, for
some reason the drove scattered In all
directions and one of the lambs made
its way through an opening in the
school yard fence, ran up TO the open
school room door and proceeded up on
the platform. There was "a sudden rise
In the position of the female scholars
some taking refuge from the imaginary
enemy on top of their desks. Two Of
the bravel boys were deputized TO eject
the intruder and after some time the
teacher succeeded in restoring the US
ual quietness of her school room.
CLOSE EsCAPE.--On Monday after
noon rs the eastbound train neared I.e-
mont, DAVID Blair and family, of that
place, met with an accident that might
have cost their lives. They were driving
home in two-horse spring wagon and
had just passed over the railroad cross
ing on the other side of Lcmont, when
the train came laundering along. Mr..
Blair's horses took fright and made n
sudden Jump TO the side of the road,
running the wagon against the fence
and hurting the driver out on his
head. He struck n stone pile and re-
ceived q large cash in his head and was
severely bruised otherwise. The horse
succeeded in breaking away from the
wagon and Mrs. Blair aid the two chill
dren who had all this time kept their
seats escaped without a hurt. The
train stopped and returned to the scene
of the accident. Mr.. Blair was picked
up unconscious and put on the train to
be taken home to Lemont. HIS injur-
les when examined closely by physi-
clan were found not to be dangerous,
but painful, and he can be very thank
full that he and his family had such a
miraculous escape.
The committee on the Patrons Picnic
and Exhb bition of Centre county, TO be
held on top of Nittany Mountain, near
Centre Hall, September IA and Is, is push
ing its work vigorously and now promises to
be grand affair surprising anything of the
kind ever held in the county. Arrange
ments for tents have already been fully
completed, and the committee is now ready
to furnish any number of them wanted and
to all persons applying. Nearly all the
Grangers have already engaged tents be-
sides many private individuals and all
other applications should be made as soon
as possible.
| Arrangements have also been completed
with the Gettysburg railroad company to
give stereoptican exhibitions of the views
of the Gettysburg battle field on large can
vases. These exhibitions will be given two
nights free of charge, along with many
other novel and interesting scenes under
the management of Messrs. Bartrond &
| Long. II Is marvel how the Patrons of
our county are able to give such an inter-
esting exhibition free of charge, rs they are
usually accompanied with heavy expense.
The majority of our home manufacturers
and dealers in agricultural implements
have engaged space for the exhibition of
their wares and implements, and no doubt
there will be many more applications be-
fore the Exhibition opens.
An effort is being made to secure an
